Black Lives Matter leaders duke it out over disappearing charity money

Are there cracks appearing in the far flung leadership of the Black Lives Matter movement? One might imagine that inside any disparate political organization, disputes will eventually arise over the message, the strategy, priorities or any of several key management issues. (snip)

Yesterday on Twitter a policy fight broke out between two prominent BLM activists, both of whom are likely familiar to readers. The Daily Caller picked up on the spat and captured some of the tense moments between Deray McKesson and current New York Daily News writer Shaun King. But it wasn't the normal debate over where to hold the next protest, what the banners should read or which cops to condemn to a life of unemployment. This particular argument had to do with a "non-profit" organization which King had started - where Deray sat on the board - and what happened to the money they raised.

A massive rift appeared Sunday in the Black Lives Matter movement, when two of its most high-profile activists went at it on Twitter.

The beef appears to center on New York Daily News columnist Shaun King's defunct social justice charity, Justice Together. Deray McKesson, a prominent grassroots activist who sat on Justice Together's board of directors, took King to task for blocking him on Twitter when he asked about the group's planning and financing.

Following a Daily Caller expose last month, King announced that he was shutting down Justice Together and another similar group he founded last year called Justice That's All.

The tweets were flying fast and... well, it wasn't really furious. But Deray definitely had questions about the group's finances. And when he asked about it, King immediately blocked him.

The left is so astro-turfed these black guys don’t know what to do without cash and instructions from their white elite benefactors.

It’s a scam...

The issue’s real enough - and needs concern... but that’s never gonna happen with corrupt democrats in charge.

Astro-turfed idiocy.

No wonder there hasn’t been much activity lately. The checks are bouncing. Couldn’t happen to a finer bunch.

They be on the down lo.

Oh Geeze! Now that is funny.

I love good English! LOL

It’s the `head-bobbing’ that cracks me up. You know when they move the head back and forth from one shoulder to the other?

Is there crack in the BlackLiveMatter movement?

Apparently.

That's probably what all the money was spent on.

Does this mean the Fatwa against the Mayor of Chiraq has been canceled?

If I got into an altercation with another woman the last thing I’d want to do is go breast to breast like that. Toe to toe is bad enough. Yikes.

I'd be more concerned about somebody grabbing the brass ring.

Ignoring such an obvious target? Obviously a put-on.

SNCC had it right in the 60’s - they voted out the white people and created ‘Friends of SNCC’ for them...
